This week we did a lot of fun activities. We turned in our book reports and spent some time trying to figure out the puzzles, reading and commenting on each others. Also on Tuesday, we switched table groups and Mrs. Langhus read us another chapter in Pax. In Pax, Peter, one of the main characters, acted out the story of Sinbad. Peter switched up and made a story about Vola. In math, we are reviewing multiplication and division. Mrs. Langhus come up with some fun ways to learn math. We went to the church to practice for the Christmas CD. Next week we will record. This week was so fun and I hope next week is the same!

This week we started off with Halloween. We did Halloween math sheets and a Halloween play. Finally we had a Halloween party where we wrapped each other with toilet paper and played bingo. It was so fun! In science, we learned about 3 kinds of rocks and the rock cycle. They are igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks. On Thursday, we used Starbursts as rocks and mashed them together, put pressure on them and melted them. We created rocks! Finally, we studied for our first Social Studies test all week. We also learned what white people did when they came to Oregon. To finish the week, we had a Social Studies test and visited the Science lab with Ms. Yuhas. The most exciting news is that we won the raffle party!

Thanks again for attending the conferences last week. I feel like we are off to an amazing start and this year is already going by so quickly. I am so looking forward to watching each fourth graders growth and learning this year. This is a curious bunch of students!
Next week, The Madeleine student government has organized a service project for St. Vincent de Paul and are asking all students to bring in Mac N Cheese and Tuna Please! At the end of the week, we will be coming together to build structures with the cans and boxes...sounds fun!
You will find this month's book report information in today's Friday Folder. The students will be focused on a character study. I have included a suggested timeline for the fourth graders to use to guide them. We chatted a bit about the report in class. Let me know if I can help with book choice.
As Tessa mentioned above, the students will be recording for the Christmas CD this coming week. Next Sunday, November 13th, after the 10 am Mass, students and their families, parishioners and teachers are invited to sing for the CD together. Should be a festive event!
Blessings,
Jenn
